Are you looking to add more native plants to your landscape? Below is a list of resources for purchasing native seeds, native plants, and plugs (small plants generally sold in bulk). Be sure to do your research before heading to the nursery or plant sale.
Please avoid ‘cultivars’ and ‘nativars’ where possible. Cultivars are not genetically diverse plants and are problematic for several reasons. See: Native, or Not So Much? and Wild Ones Statement on the Use of Nativars
